Additional information

Ziyadat Allah II ruled for under a year — deposed in 864 after a reign so brief that his coinage survives in genuinely small numbers. The Aghlabid dynasty that governed Ifriqiya nominally under Abbasid suzerainty maintained gold dinar production of remarkable consistency throughout the ninth century, but issues tied to transitional or short-lived amirs are among the most difficult to attribute with confidence. The A#T445.2 reference places this squarely within Album's Aghlabid sequence, a cataloging effort that itself remains the primary tool for distinguishing otherwise nearly identical epigraphic types.
